I read an article in my Natural Health magazine last night about ribose. It's supposed to be great for people with fibromyalgia. And I know many of us lymies have had that dx. I also believe that many of us do have fibro, either lyme induced fibro, or fibro as a symptom of lyme.... so I am going to copy and paste what I just put in the fibro group, as I think it can be helpful for us as well. I read an article in my Natural Health magazine last night about ribose. It sounds promising for people suffering with chronic fatigue and fibro. "a 2004 study in Pharmacotherapy highlighted the effect of ribose on a 37 year old female surgeon with fibro. She managed her condition with a daily mix of meds and PT with minimal effect. She then added 5 grams of ribose twice daily to her treatment, and after 2 weeks she reported better sleep, improved mental alertness, and a marked decrease in joint pain. After an additional month, her symptoms were all but vanished. And when she stopped taking ribose, her symptoms returned. Not surprisingly, she chose to stay on it." So I am running out to the health food store today and getting me some of this! It's also good for people with heart problems. I'm sure they have the article online if you look it up...it's very interesting. Definitly worth a try. Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
